Over the last 30 years, in seeking to stem the free flow of murders and gang activity across the island, successive national security ministers have shuffled the deck of familiar strategies to try to find the winning formula.
Every year during the Sectoral Debate, I listen for the incumbent national security minister to name some new police squad with some horrific name intended to drive terror into murderers and criminals, or some new gun amnesty, or some new anti-crime bill. A few young black men are scraped up, and a few rusty guns are turned in, but there has been no real change.
